Higher Education System in Morocco
Overral view
Morocco has 14 universities and other institutes of technology within the city limits. The instruction is in French and Arabic. The organization of studies on the mode of the LMD (License-Master-Doctorate) was established in Morocco in 2001. The academic year consists of two semesters.
Higher and Vocational Education in Morocco is composed of public and private institutions providing initial or vocational training. It is divided into two categories. So, higher education is organized by the Ministry of Higher Education. It forms students, License Bac + 3, Master Bac+5, Doctorate Bac + 8. The Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training provides professional education to train technicians in 2 or 3 years after graduating.
Areas of study are the original teaching, law and economics, literature, sciences, medical sciences, engineering sciences, business and management, science education and translation.
Also :
· Higher education in Morocco is the responsibility of the State, which provides for the planning, organization, development, regulation and Guidance of the system.
· Morocco law reinforces the educational, administrative and financial autonomy of universities.
· For these provisions to be implemented, the tasks of universities have to be broadened in the framework of a reorganized educational structure.
· There is also a need to enhance vocational courses by establishing an evaluation and accreditation system for courses and a system for auditing institutions.
Admission
· Admission to postsecondary institutions is open to baccalaureate holders and many schools and faculties require that students also pass an entrance examination.
· Most institutions or faculties will also require that students have minimum grades in their proposed majors.
· Furthermore, some institutions will only accept students who have obtained their baccalaureate in the year of application for registration.
· These extra requirements have been introduced over the last 10 to 15 years as schools have become unable to meet the burgeoning demand created by the official Moroccan policy of open access for baccalaureate holders.
· The school year runs from September to July.
· The language of instruction in the humanities and social sciences is Arabic, while French is the language of instruction in scientific subjects.
· Curriculums in all fields are for the most part standardized by the Ministry of Higher Education.
· All Moroccan universities use a 20-point grading scale. Any score over 10 is considered a passing grade; very few students average higher than 14 across all subjects. Students must score above 50 percent on end-of-year written and oral examinations to progress to the next year of studies.
· The proportion of students required to repeat a year is high, especially in the first year of studies and it is not uncommon for students to take more than six years to complete a four-year degree.
